Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 (stylized as Plants vs. Zombies GW2 or PvZ:GW2) is a third-person shooter video game developed by PopCap Games and published by Electronic Arts. It is the fourth game in the Plants vs. Zombies series and the sequel to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. The game was announced at the Xbox E3 briefing on June 15, 2015. Only a trailer was shown, but gameplay footage was later presented on EA Games' E3 press conference. The game was released on February 23, 2016 (North American version) and February 25, 2016 (European version) for PC and current generation consoles.[1]

On a GamesRadar article,[2] EA confirmed that players who unlocked playable characters in the first game will have their characters in the sequel already unlocked. However, the promotional characters (Berry Shooter, Citrus Cactus, Chester Chomper, and Dr. Chester) did not return to the sequel. In the same article, a single-player mode was confirmed, along with six new classes including Citron and Super Brainz, over 100 playable characters and 12 new maps. Also, a new ranking system has been introduced, however, this means that every player will start at rank 1 when they begin the game for the first time. Nearly all customization items from the first Garden Warfare are not returning to Garden Warfare 2 (this does not apply to gestures, as they will return, thanks to the Mystery Portal events). Some of this information was later added to the official website. If players pre-order the game they receive Z7 Imp, which is also a spoof of the Mass Effect franchise. Loyalty rewards are given to players that made it to a certain rank in Garden Warfare, with the final loyalty reward obtained by reaching rank 313, awarding the player the Unicorn Chomper. The game is no longer receiving content updates.

Setting

Long after the events of Garden Warfare during the long, crazy war between Plants and Zombies, the Zombies have finally conquered Suburbia and renamed it Zomburbia. Now, for the first time in the series, the Plants are on the attack, and it is the Zombies' turn to defend their newly claimed homeland. Six all-new heroes join the battle with brand new abilities, from the past, present, and future.

As a plant, your mission is to become an agent of L.E.A.F., by doing plant-based story missions. As a zombie, your mission is to become Top Zombie, by doing zombie-based story missions. This includes training with Agent Rose, Agent Citron, and Agent Corn or Steve, Super Duper Brainz and Ol' Deadbeard.

Trivia

  • The Plants vs. Zombies Facebook page posted a "Letter from Zomboss" revealing how Zomboss managed to take over Suburbia, by summoning his future self:
Dear Citizens of Suburbia and Everywhere-

Thanks to the limitless reaches of my limitless genius, I am overjoyed to announce that I have taken over Suburbia. You may have noticed from the change in your surroundings, but I realize that as humans your powers of perception are not near to my elevated level. Which is a very elevated level indeed! Your brains, streets, houses, telephone poles, brains, toasters, and game-playing devices are mine. Mine!

I can sense before the brain-feasting begins that you would like to know how I took over. Because why wouldn’t you? I am Dr. Zomboss, after all. And this was my most evilly inspired idea yet! I finally decided that only one was brilliant enough to aid me, and once realizing this, I asked myself for help. My future self! The only creature perhaps as smart as I am. Supplied with Z-Tech from future me (who is quite charming and really rather clever), I invented the most horrific, most wonderful, most clever invention of all time! More clever even than the Sun-blot Machine! Than the Awesome Air Stinkifier! Even more than the PopSmarts™ Handy Slicer!

I speak of the Z-Mech, which transforms giggly Imps into giggly giant machines of shimmering destruction! Oh, I also created Super Brainz, but he broke every mirror and had to stand in the Time-Out corner. But he is still a brilliant invention! And I, only I, Dr. Edgar G. Zomboss, could have unleashed the Z-Mech and then also put Captain Deadbeard, and all the other zombies, into the fray. You remember them, I know you do! Remember them, and remember it was I who used them to capture Suburbia. It was I! Admit it – you couldn’t have done it. Only I. Wait, what’s that orange roll-y thing that dares to roll on my streets? I must go attend, because no-one rolls on my streets. No one!

Please desist from any thoughts of attacking me, as they would be futile.

Sincerely-

Dr. Zomboss

  • Said message above foreshadows the events that took place in the comic under the same name.
    • The other inventions mentioned other than Z-Mechs also appear in other comics.
  • Various references to Plants vs. Zombies 2 are shown in this game:
    • Gargantuar Prime, Laser Bean, Lightning Reed, Dandelion, E.M.Peach, Hypno-shroom all use the same appearance as they did in the second game, only 3D re-animated.
      • In addition to the potted plant, a Laser Bean with its cape costume also appears as a boss.
    • One of the Rose's abilities, Goatify, references the Wizard Zombie's ability to turn plants into sheep.
    • This game is based on time traveling, just like how it would be to the former.
    • Captain Deadbeard and Parrot Pal is based on Pirate Captain Zombie and its parrot.
    • Kernel Corn's description mentions Pirate Seas and Kernel-pult's appearance in that world.
    • Knight Zombie did make a cameo in the beta trailer.
    • Dr. Zomboss uses his voice from the second game, but his sprite is from the first game.
      • This would make him, alongside Crazy Dave to use their sprite from the first game.
    • The blue flame that Giga Torchwood prominently features references Torchwood's Plant Food ability.
    • An unknown Zomboss balloon that appeared in the trailer might be the Zombot Aerostatic Gondola, but different in shape.
    • Many of the maps in this game are all likely based on worlds from Plants vs. Zombies 2:
    • Jams appear again, but this time they are just music and sound effects.
      • They appear during activation of Party Time.
        • All except for the 8-Bit Jam, that is, which appears during activation of the Computer Scientist's Crunch Mode.
  • On PopCap's Facebook page, a user on the Electro Brainz preview posted a leaked picture that stated the game was going to have a beta from January 14th to the 18th. This was confirmed true a day later.
  • This is the first game in the series where plants actively attack zombies while zombies defend against attacking plants.
  • The returning Plant classes no longer blink when KO'd, while the returning Zombies no longer move their mouths when KO'd.
  • Unlike its predecessor, bosses will now flinch for a short second, leaving them vulnerable to attacks.
  • This is currently the only Plants vs. Zombies title to be protected by Denuvo Anti-Tamper, which makes the game extremely hard to pirate.
    • This is because most of 3D-platform games created by Electronic Arts are also protected.
    • It's unusual that Garden Warfare wasn't protected by Denuvo Anti-Tamper, even though it's also created by Electronic Arts.
  • The characters now pop out of the ground instead of appearing out of thin air when they respawn.
  • Rose is the only playable plant that does not come from Plants vs. Zombies 2.
  • Cactus and Kernel Corn are the only playable plants that aren't heroes in Plants vs. Zombies: Heroes.
